Nairns Sweet Round

A Memory of Wem.

I too remember the Milk machine outside the shop, and also that in the 1960s Mr Nairn used to come round our area ( by the primary school) in his 'mobile' sweet shop on a Sunday afternoon, he always stood outside his van and rang his brass hand bell to attract attention, it was a lovely sight when he opened the back doors to reveal all the boxes/packs of sweets in the back of it. there was no other place to buy sweets on a Sunday afternoon, all the shops were closed, so he was a greatly appreciated.

I remember in London some of the milk machines had chocolate milk. Also the brass bell brings back memories of the muffin man who used to come around on Sunday afternoon with a wheel barrow covered in a white sheet. You went out when you heard him ring his brass bell. He pulled back the sheet and there were the muffins.
